Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for determining the ploidy status of a chromosome in a gestating fetus from genotypic data measured from a mixed sample of DNA comprising DNA from both the mother of the fetus and from the fetus, and optionally from genotypic data from the mother and father. The ploidy state is determined by using a joint distribution model to create a plurality of expected allele distributions for different possible fetal ploidy states given the parental genotypic data, and comparing the expected allelic distributions to the pattern of measured allelic distributions measured in the mixed sample, and choosing the ploidy state whose expected allelic distribution pattern most closely matches the observed allelic distribution pattern. The mixed sample of DNA may be preferentially enriched at a plurality of polymorphic loci in a way that minimizes the allelic bias, for example using massively multiplexed targeted PCR.

Abstract: Methods for non-invasive prenatal paternity testing are disclosed herein. The method uses genetic measurements made on plasma taken from a pregnant mother, along with genetic measurements of the alleged father, and genetic measurements of the mother, to determine whether or not the alleged father is the biological father of the fetus. This is accomplished by way of an informatics based method that can compare the genetic fingerprint of the fetal DNA found in maternal plasma to the genetic fingerprint of the alleged father.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods, compositions, and kits for creating genetic libraries useful for massively parallel genetic sequencing. Some embodiments are directed to methods of preventing the contamination of genetic libraries with material generated during the formation of other genetic libraries. In some embodiments, the methods employ adapters comprising universal priming sites. The methods can employ non-ligatable primers to generate non-ligatable amplification products so as to prevent unwanted ligation to adapters. In some embodiments, the non-ligatable primers contain uracil. Genetic material can be treated with uracil N glycosylase to prevent the unwanted ligation of uracil containing amplicons to adapters used for creating a second genetic library.
